The right size for Facebook cover
Facebook cover displays images at 820 × 312 px, and anything else is cropped or scaled by the app, often badly. This preset resizes and crops to exactly that, so faces stay centred and text is not cut off. Export as JPG for photos or PNG for graphics with sharp edges or transparency, and keep the file small enough to upload quickly on mobile. Every step runs in your browser, so a private photo is never sent to a server before it reaches the platform.
Who needs this
Creators, social media managers, small businesses and anyone updating a profile, cover or post on Facebook cover who wants the image to look exactly as intended.
Resize image
Resize by exact pixels or physical size at a chosen DPI. Keep the aspect ratio, crop to fill, or pad with a color. Optionally compress the result to a size limit at the same time.

Frequently asked questions
Is 820 × 312 px the current Facebook cover size?
It matches the published guidelines at the time of writing. Platforms change their layouts occasionally, so the dimension fields are editable if you need a different size.
Why does my image still look blurry on Facebook cover?
Platforms re-compress uploads. Start from a sharp source at least 820 × 312 px, avoid tiny text, and export at high quality so the platform has detail to work with.
Should I use JPG or PNG for Facebook cover?
JPG for photographs, PNG for logos, screenshots and anything with flat colour or text. Transparency only works in PNG.
Can I keep the whole picture without cropping?
Switch the fit mode from crop to pad, pick a background colour, and the full image is placed inside the 820 × 312 px frame.
Can I resize in centimeters or inches?
Yes. Switch the unit to cm, mm or in, set the DPI (300 for print, 72–96 for screens) and the tool converts to exact pixels and writes the DPI into the file (JPG and PNG).
What is the difference between Fit, Fill and Stretch?
Fit keeps the whole image inside the box, Fill crops to cover the box exactly, Stretch ignores the aspect ratio, and Pad adds a background to reach the exact size without cropping.
Can I resize and compress at the same time?
Turn on "Also limit file size" and set a KB target. The image is resized first and then encoded to fit your limit in one pass.
